[Prior Art] With the evolution of optoelectronics and semiconductor technology, the development of flat panel displays has been promoted. In many flat panel displays, liquid crystal displays have advantages such as high space utilization efficiency, low power consumption, no radiation, and low electromagnetic interference. Characteristics have become the mainstream of the market. The liquid crystal display generally includes a liquid crystal display panel and a backlight module, and since the liquid crystal display panel itself does not have self-luminous characteristics, the liquid crystal display panel must be provided with a backlight module to provide a surface light source required for the liquid crystal display panel, such a liquid crystal display. The image can be displayed to the user for viewing. In today's liquid crystal displays, in order to improve the contrast, the brightness of the back wire source emitted by the backlight module is adjusted to improve the dark state (lowest gray scale value) displayed by the liquid crystal display device.

For example, when the liquid crystal display is cumbersome, the brightness of the face is · ed/m2, and the true state of the dark surface is 0·5 cd/m, the comparison at this time is 1000 (ie 500 + 〇 5 2 1〇ϋ... slTutlo °·1 Cd/m2 5 (ie. Also, increase the liquid crystal through 3 201033976, on vww ...iZITW 28648twf.doc/n light rate' to compensate for the brightness of the display before dimming the backlight source In the real world, the brightness of the backlight source can be dimmed, and the light leakage generated by the liquid crystal display in the display & state can be solved, and the energy saving effect can be achieved. However, the backlight module will flicker after dimming (flicker). The situation of the image, and the darker the backlight module, the more obvious the phenomenon of flickering. When the liquid crystal display is displaying the low-gray scale, the human eye is less likely to notice the phenomenon of flickering.

The controller 1〇7 is, for example, a timing controller (T-con), and the backlight source in the backlight module 103 is, for example, a cold cathode fluorescent tube (Cold Cathode 2〇l〇33976). zlTW 28648twf.doc/n

The driving unit is connected to the liquid crystal display panel and controlled by the controller 1〇7 for inputting the kneading signal to the halogen capacitor in the liquid crystal display panel 101. The backlight module driving unit 113 is coupled to the backlight module 1〇3 and controlled by the controller 107 for driving the backlight module 103 according to the light source signal 1S1 output by the controller 107. The backlight module driving unit 113 includes a pulse width modulation unit and a transformer. The backlight module driving unit 113 adjusts the brightness of the backlight source according to the received light source signal LSI outputting a pulse width modulation (PWM) signal LS2. In general, the duty cycle LSr dimming cyde of the pulse width modulation signal LS2 corresponds to the brightness of the backlight source in the backlight module 103. For example, the brightness of the backlight produced by the backlight module 1〇3 at an effective period of 5〇% will be half of that when the effective period is 100%. The four-level gray scale value in the liquid crystal display panel 101 is determined by the pixel voltage of the driving unit iπ and the brightness of the backlight module 1〇3. In general, the higher the material pressure, the higher the filament of Wei Jing, and the higher the gray scale value. When displayed! 100 wants to change its dynamic contrast, usually adjust the contrast value according to the -dynamic contrast value 'by two ways, respectively, adjust the pixel voltage multiplier, south or reduce the pixel voltage' and adjust the brightness of the backlight module 103 . For example, if you want to get 10 times or more of the _, you can adjust the brightness of the backlight module 103 to the original 1/1 在 when displaying the low-gray 昼 face (ie, the pulse width modulation signal LS2 is valid. The period is adjusted to the original 1/1〇) or when the high-gray aspect is displayed, the voltage of the halogen is increased to increase the contrast (that is, the pixel voltage 201033976 tiZITW 28648twf.doc/n is adjusted to increase the voltage of the pixel) . Of course, the above two methods can be used simultaneously. However, when the brightness of the backlight module 103 is too low, flickering may occur, and under a fixed backlight brightness, if the gray level displayed by the surface is too high (ie, the pixel voltage is over) High), there will also be flicker. Therefore, in the embodiment, when the controller ι 7 adjusts the brightness of the backlight source corresponding to the kneading signal according to a dynamic contrast value, the brightness of the backlight source is greater than or equal to the brightness lower limit value, and When the pixel voltage corresponding to the 昼 φ plane signal is adjusted, the voltage is multiplied or equal to a voltage multiplication upper limit value. In this way, it is ensured that under different gray scales, no matter whether the backlight brightness or the pixel voltage multiplier is adjusted, no flicker flicker is generated. ° The above brightness lower limit value and voltage multiplication upper limit value can be used to look up the table. It is stored in the controller 107 or in the memory of the display 1〇3, and the embodiment is not limited. As for the value setting in the lookup table, it depends on the different display models and the needs of the user. Since the flicker phenomenon is a phenomenon that is perceived by the human eye, it is possible to obtain the gray scale (voltage magnification) of the face that can be accepted by the human eye under different backlight brightness in spring by experimental numerical values and statistical analysis. The experimental method of determining the lookup table mainly includes the following three steps. First, under different gray-level exemptions, the human eye will feel the kneading grayscale value of the kneading surface, and then the light measuring device is used to measure the time. The difference in brightness is made and made into a reference table. Then, the brightness of the backlight module 1〇3 (ie, the effective period of the pulse width modulation signal LS2) is sequentially adjusted, and the gray scale value of the signal is changed, and the corresponding backlight brightness can be found by using the above reference table.

Finally, the upper limit of the gray scale corresponding to the brightness of the different backlights (which can be said to be the lower limit of the backlight brightness corresponding to different gray scales) is used as the optimum value of the backlight brightness and the pixel signal required to establish the dynamic backlight technology.

In addition, the calculation of the reference grayscale value is, for example, the grayscale mean of all the pixels in the facet, the highest grayscale value in the facet, or the grayscale weighted average of the different zones j. In addition, it is also possible to determine the reference grayscale value by using the secret image technique. This embodiment does not limit the generation of the reference grayscale value.

If the device 100 increases the transmittance from the operating point E, that is, increases the pixel voltage multiplier ^ ^ If the display 100 is operated at the operating point F, and its pixel power is 1-5), the display 100 will The human eye can detect flickering. Therefore, the voltage multiplying upper limit value of the display 1 可以 can be set according to the voltage multiplication upper limit lookup table to prevent the display 100 from being perceived by the human eye to flicker. It can be seen from the disclosure of the prior art that when the liquid crystal display is in the dynamic contrast value, if the backing wire group (10) emits a low level of light, that is, it is still in the lower effective Zhou Lin, there will be a phenomenon. . If the light transmittance of the liquid crystal display panel 101 is too high, that is, the voltage of the four elements used to adjust the pixel voltage is too high, 'the same age makes people feel this flash phenomenon. In other words, when the display 100 adjusts the dynamic contrast, if When the degree of freedom of the backlight source is too low or the light transmittance is too high, it will be easy to simultaneously display the flicker that is perceptible to the human eye. ', 12 201033976 --------t-ZlTW 28648twf.doc/n In view of the fact that this embodiment will adjust the dynamic contrast value on the display 1 'the controller 107 first obtains a face signal The reference gray scale value, and = the lower limit of the brightness of the job reference - the lower limit of the brightness, the lower limit of the brightness varies with the reference gray scale value, and then the controller adjusts the backlight signal according to a dynamic contrast value - the backlight source The brightness of the backlight source is greater than or equal to the brightness lower limit.匕 More specifically, the controller 1〇7 will automatically find the reference grayscale corresponding to the reference grayscale in the lookup table of the backlight luminance after obtaining the reference grayscale parameter of the kneading signal to adjust the brightness of the backlight source. To the corresponding brightness. Or find the upper limit of the pressure ratio corresponding to the reference gray scale from the look-up table of the upper limit of the voltage multiplication and set the pixel voltage multiplier to adjust the denier voltage of the kneading signal, where the pixel voltage multiplier is less than or equal to the voltage multiplying ratio. Limit. In this way, the display 1 can be prevented from displaying the flickering phenomenon perceived by the human eye, and the effect of adjusting the dynamic contrast value can be achieved. In the following, based on the contents disclosed in the above embodiments, the following will be directed to a driving method that is not stolen to those of ordinary skill in the art. FIG. 4 is a flow chart showing a driving method of a display according to an embodiment of the present invention. Referring to FIG. 4, first, in step S41, a reference grayscale value of a facet signal is obtained. Thereafter, in step S420, a luminance lower limit value corresponding to one of the reference "grayscale values is obtained, and the luminance lower limit value is changed according to the reference grayscale value. Finally, in step S430, the brightness of the backlight source corresponding to the kneading signal is adjusted according to a dynamic contrast value, wherein the brightness of the backlight source is greater than or equal to the lower limit value. 13 bZITW 28648twf.doc/n 201033976 This =, after obtaining the reference gray scale value, # to the reference gray scale (four) - electricity (four) rate on the thief, ^ one * Xin electric chest to adjust the kneading signal according to the state contrast value In order to adjust the pixel voltage corresponding to the picture signal, the voltage of the pixel in the basin is equal to the upper limit of the voltage multiplier. 8. The above-mentioned brightness lower limit value or voltage multiplication upper limit value can be obtained from the miscellaneous table according to the reference fire level value. After obtaining the brightness lower limit value or the voltage multiplication rate, the brightness of the moonlight source is adjusted according to the brightness lower limit value or the voltage magnification upper limit value, or the pixel voltage is adjusted, so that the adjustment state can be ensured. When comparing values, it is effective to avoid the appearance of a clear picture. For the remaining details of the driving method of the display according to the present embodiment, reference is made to the description of the above embodiments, and will not be described here. In summary, when the display is adjusting the backlight, it can be based on the 俨 俨! The !fi grayscale value finds the corresponding brightness lower limit value from the lookup table, and according to the U and the moonlight redundancy, or when adjusting the transmittance of the display, the reference grayscale value is based on the upper limit of the voltage ratio of the written signal. Find the corresponding voltage override = value and adjust the pixel voltage accordingly. In this way, when the display adjusts the contrast value, it can effectively avoid the flicker that the human eye can detect.
